People Are Now Taking Placebo Pills to Deal With Their Health Problems —And It’s Working
For over 20 years, Linda Buonanno lived in fear that her irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) would suddenly interrupt her daily routine with frequent trips to the bathroom and unbearable cramping. Buonanno, now a 71-year-old medical assistant and hairdresser from Methuen, Mass., tried everything from drugs to dairy-free diets. Nothing worked. She remembers a particularly tough period over 10 years ago, when she was working on the factory floor of a medical-device company for up to 10 hours a day, six days a week. When an IBS episode would strike, her co-workers would cover for her as she huddled in a corner, keeled over in pain...

Let Food Be Thy Medicine
Typical food store in Brazzaville, Congo. Credit: WHOBy Adelheid Onyango and Bibi GiyoseBRAZZAVILLE, Congo, Aug 14 2018 (IPS)When faced with a crisis, our natural reaction is to deal with its immediate threats. Ateka* came to the make-shift clinic with profuse diarrhoea: they diagnosed cholera. The urgent concern in the midst of that humanitarian crisis was to treat the infection and send her home as quickly as possible. But she came back to the treatment centre a few days later – not for cholera, but because she was suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Doctors had saved her life but not restored her health. And the...

Why Food Could Be the Best Medicine of All
When Tom Shicowich’s toe started feeling numb in 2010, he brushed it off as a temporary ache. At the time, he didn’t have health insurance, so he put off going to the doctor. The toe became infected, and he got so sick that he stayed in bed for two days with what he assumed was the flu. When he finally saw a doctor, the physician immediately sent Shicowich to the emergency room. Several days later, surgeons amputated his toe, and he ended up spending a month in the hospital to recover.
Shicowich lost his toe because of complications of Type 2 diabetes as he struggled to keep his blood sugar under control. He wa...

What Is AI ’s Promise and Potential for the Hospitalist?
Imagine entering the front door of your hospital to start your busy workday as a hospitalist. The smart hospital, with its smart technology, recognizes you by “reading” your name badge via radio frequency identification.
Your smartphone sends you a real-time list of the patients who were admitted overnight—prioritizing those who are sickest, most urgent, and located closest to where you are now, with directions for how to get to their rooms. You don’t need to stop at a computer screen, because your phone offers to help you review essential data in the prioritized patient’s chart.
When you walk into the patient’...

Signaling pathway of targeting the pancreas in the treatment of diabetes under the precision medicine big data evaluation system
Diabetes is a chronic noncommunicable disease, which is related to lifestyle, environmental and other factors. The main disease of diabetes is the pancreas. Inflammation, oxidative stress and other factors can interfere with the conduction of various cell signaling pathways, thus inducing pancreatic tissue lesions and diabetes. Precision medicine covers epidemiology, preventive medicine, rehabilitation medicine and clinical medicine. On the basis of precision medicine big data analysis, this paper takes pancreas as the target to analyze the signal pathway of diabetes treatment. This paper analyzes from the five aspects of ...

Two recent scientific advances underscore an encouraging future for precision medicine at FDA
By: Janet Woodcock, M.D.
FDA helps bring precision medicine – in the form of targeted therapies — to people living with diseases that have specific genetic features.
Two recent FDA drug approvals point to an encouraging future for “precision medicine” — an approach for disease treatment that tailors medical therapies, including medications, to the needs of individual patients. These approvals involve diseases resulting from particular genetic characteristics identified by laboratory testing.
In mid-May, FDA announced that we expanded the approval of Kalydeco (ivacaftor), enabling a larger number of patients with...

Euclea undulata Thunb.: Review of its botany, ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities
This study was aimed at reviewing the botany, ethnopharmacology and biological activities of E. undulata in southern Africa. Results presented in this study are based on review of literature using search engines such as Science Direct, Springerlink, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, BioMed Central and Google Scholar. Herbal medicine is prepared from the decoctions of the roots, bark and leaves, and extracts of these plant parts have demonstrated anticholinesterase, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antimycobacterial, antiplasmodial, antioxidant and hypoglycaemic activities. Multiple classes of phytochemical compounds such a...

Biotransformation and metabolic profile of Xian-Ling-Gu-Bao capsule, a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, with rat intestinal microflora by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry analysis.
In this study, twelve representative compounds bearing different typical structures (including iridoid glycosides, prenylated flavonol glycosides, prenylated flavonoids, triterpenoid saponins, steroidal saponins, coumarins and monoterpene phenols) were selected and then investigated for their biotransformation in rat intestinal microflora. In addition, metabolic profile of XLGB in rat intestinal microflora was investigated by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). As a result, a total of 87 biotransformation components were identified from in...

You Asked: What Is Inflammation, And Why Should I Care About It?
Your body can heal itself, which is pretty miraculous when you sit back and think about it. If you suffer a cut or infection—or if a disease, allergen or virus finds its way into you—your immune system reacts by sending specialized white blood cells to the affected area. These white blood cells can repair damage, stop the spread of infection or illness and in some cases eradicate the intruder. This whole response is called inflammation.
“Inflammation is an activation of cells and cell-derived components that have the job of fighting invasions, and in some cases just sponging up or clearing out damaged cel...
